PUZZLE #480
FAMILY REUNIONS 7
Before I get to this week's puzzle, I have some major news to announce: My Patreon page now has a shop! My first offering for sale is five pages' worth of different types of Cryptogram puzzles, such as "Crypto-Lists", an encrypted 4-panel comic strip, and a new creation I call "Crypto-Quiz"! More details are on that product's store page, and it only costs $3 (but only because Patreon wouldn't let me sell it at a lower price). However, you need to have a Patreon account to gain access to it (though you don't have to necessarily subscribe to my Patreon page), so I'm also offering an alternate workaround: if you're not on Patreon, you can still send me $3 through my PayPal account, and I can send you the .PDF file via email! I haven't sold any copies of this puzzle pack yet, so I hope this bit of shameless self-promotion works! So now with all that out of the way, let's get back to our regularly-scheduled puzzle!
For this puzzle, just change the group of 10 words below into a "family" of
different words (that is, words or proper names that all have something in
common) by dropping one letter from each word and then rearranging the
remaining letters. For example, if three of the initial entries are HATRED,
UNSTRAP, and AUBURNS, you could drop the D from HATRED to get EARTH, drop
the P from UNSTRAP to get SATURN, and drop the B from AUBURNS to get URANUS,
all in the category "Planets". As an additional help, the category for the
new words will also be listed on top.
Once you're done, the letters that have been deleted from each word will
unscramble to spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: a ten-letter word that
also fits the category
Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either
redhead64@chartermi.net or
itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm
more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list
once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email
addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint,
though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer
to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a
printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for
a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
